Hi saraveza408...

An SMA Jack looks like those pictured HERE. Not really much like a microphone jack.

will a external antena make a whole lot of difference in my signal stregnth?

They will help with signal strength in most cases...they will not necesarily increase the range of the signal much. If you're talking pulling signals through walls in a home, look into a repeater that uses household wiring. For internet cafe' use, they're more of an inconvenience than a help.

It really all depends on what you are trying to accomplish.
